Swing Into Summer!

Hello, Ukulele Playing Friends,

It looks like winter is finally over for good and it's time to swing into the summer months.  Plan a trip to the DC area in August for our 4th annual Ukulele Festival at Strathmore where we add a 4 day camp with classes in Ukulele, Tenor Guitar, Slack Key guitar, Jug Band, Hula and Lei Making with the Hula Honeys, Keola and Moana Beamer, Bruce Hutton, Cathy Fink and myself, Marcy Marxer.   Stay tuned for more info.  

Best, Marcy Marxer

Teaching kids

I asked this in one of the groups, but since I got no response, I'll ask again.  When you teach melody playing to children, do you use tab or standard notation?  For single line melody playing, would you suggest re-entrant or low G tuning?See More

Precise attack on the U-Bass

I love my U-Bass. I take it when I am lazy - when hauling an upright is too hard or it is raining! (A lot here right now.) The only thing I am not good at-and maybe it is the nature of the rubber strings- is a definite, driving attack. Sometimes with my bluegrass band, I need to dig and drive more than say, the blues and pop band I play in. Anyone have ideas for me to increase my technique in this way?See More
